Help!
Anyone have any tips for removing crayon marks from the Kona Snow section of a quilt in progress?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions! If you need me, I'll be on my couch with a box of tissues debating with my husband about whether or not we should pay for Hurst to go to college!!
Uh oh. I'm sorry I don't know! But I will be interested to hear the advice you do get, since I suspect it will just be a matter of time before I need it too. : )
Found these two websites that offer advice. Could be worth a try. Is the stain in a spot where you could cut out and replace the white fabric??? In case suggestions above don't work.... Kids... gotta love em. But I know what you mean. I have a egg shaped stick man on our fire place hearth..... It's still there and she's 10 but I did actually decide to leave it. :-)
What about "Goo Gone"? I've used it with some success (although not in this exact situation), but you'll want to wash the whole quilt once you are done removing the crayon.
